Abstract

We describe several geometrical configurations of supermirror arrays for polarizing cold and sub-thermal neutrons in transmission with high efficiency, which is particularly important in applications where several polarizers occur in series. The measured polarizing efficiency and reflectivity of Fe-Si supermirror coatings which can be used in these devices are also reported.
